Tuesday November 16 annual watching -- -- podcast I'm Donald well.
I have Eric Franklin.
And that it -- been both a video and we -- -- -- --
Yeah she's I think -- sick at home getting over whenever or.
It is a beautiful day outside island -- she just asked -- that today and I wouldn't for the past now mounted and Aaron Brown.

The Beatles catalog coming to iTunes yes it is a day.
That I will never.
Ever forget -- is very live in -- for you yet. -- far.
Spin a lot of lot of people -- been right.
Knowing what will will men who these people who -- people wearing them to think everybody laws so comments are seeing and is it is really -- people is that I'm sure there's -- --
The people who aren't even -- back on top of the news that even need to know about this around and about this a week announcer the volume super excited. But as far as all of the tech bloggers that -- --
Booting up the computer's dead to blog and write about the next Apple innovation being unveiled at 7 o'clock this morning right right cause they know -- -- -- that I can't come on really we'll always measured I don't know anything about like.
You know if they're overseas. Now packets are overdue but they're all about tech minded -- flake --
Dell tech minded or are there are more of like the I think.
Music.
Fan that authority has The Beatles catalogue yeah it is -- about the CD is last year I -- the big Beatles remastered catalogue yeah.
Read go into any -- any respectable and I even thought the deals cannot be canceled like furniture stores and money.
Thank to think it's like -- high end.
You know but something drop you know however -- many hundreds of dollars on public the deluxe Beatles box --
Remastered collection you -- -- like all The Beatles hype.
Over the remastered catalog was last it has like The Beatles rock band last year -- that there are exactly and understand Larry thank you lot of predictions that that's when The Beatles catalog would have iTunes last year alone would make sense yeah --
-- -- --
But yeah.
Opening -- less exciting from a music perspective from a music respect array from -- This is awesome from a tech news perspective music.
Yeah okay -- sure from a tech -- that reflect the it via a home.
But -- up from his respect perspective is a big deal.
They announce pricing and -- -- -- yeah I mean it's all it's all up to file right now they did iTunes LP's I think from majority of the catalogue I want saying okay this is everything you're getting like.
Extra content -- getting in getting.
I think everything.
So you -- is there is there a way to just.
One click buy everything.
I guess they have like the digital version of the box at nice -- that it is great I think it will acting -- --
-- but I can't predict.
You know how many people or out there are interested in this and how they'll already have this by I would imagine who would want to have like.
Quality versions of that -- --
All that well.
Yes and here's in digital format is alright here's the here's the -- advocate rate there.
Steve Jobs doesn't need anymore Nichols in this pile of money -- as -- hack that says I'm not there.
That anyone working in Apple's coffers to Leo yes -- like iTunes -- game like this that supposedly one year exclusivity. Over The Beatles digital download.
A rights so there.
-- if that people who are just like that Apple haters.
Anti gambling and there's like Apple doesn't need anymore money this is a big deal and speed Apple for -- -- money The Beatles iPod make more money because I'm going to buy these things even -- --
I understand that I can empathize about -- -- you.
I showed a picture gettin' one of lake -- have all the music I do admit it -- downloaded it and he illegally whenever -- a I -- can't name a few trying to pirate music on the Internet and childhood that you -- not like --
To virtual feet without tripping over The Beatles collector I so is that I went to mean the thing that I think --
My perspective one makes me just kind of bitter about all of kind negative media -- -- that -- still make.
ITunes is the number one music retailer.
In the nation if not the world rain we live in this.
-- and our kids wouldn't know what to do with the CD.
As opposed like you know any difference yeah what you -- Political power would come through particularly in in the big picture is a good thing acting to have.
Like the most celebrated band and music catalog in recent history to be available for generations -- you know.
Yeah yeah cited about so why not -- people.
Did you knows right I don't know.
In other -- -- next -- blog is actually I do think that there will probably be another announcement.
At some point that will be like.
That would begin with you to where -- -- -- U2 version iPod Akamai 2004 it.
Yeah why don't -- it -- I don't think that you two iPad iPod I had an EU to -- on a gave you like a fifteen dollar credit.
Like a card that you could use towards downloading them that you two.
About why -- and has come preloaded and you bought the U2 iPod in there. May be able to figure that out of hammered out by.
Man I mean that would make sense with who's gonna like.
By a Big Dig dug The Beatles gift card you know like the -- that gift card album you know how they have those iTunes problems he can find like Safeway yeah Iraq where -- at the little plastic card right and no.
-- I -- sort by that artist and liked was people who applied and I'm sure that now optional be out there but as opposed to me like.
Buying your dad he.
Beatles edition yellow submarine iPhone.
Well yellow submarine -- below weird something. That I think let me -- the white album by.
Beatles edition incident that that she's --
-- And -- I think is a big deal in like you said it and approved music prospective big deal it freaking deal right.
All tech news not so much.
But -- same -- it's like okay cool you know.
-- -- -- -- -- --
I think what people hitting on that job and a big party and you can yet they hate him he called it overhang -- people -- are miffed about the hullabaloo that they're like.
But -- but I.
-- -- -- -- --
Man take the music industry has been fighting for years and years and years to deal began legal digital downloads -- The Beatles.
And Apple finally -- -- like they should get some kudos --
Doing whatever -- -- -- -- -- -- go or however many lawyer tricks had to be done I mean that happen I mean finances -- is actually more advertised.
There -- no matter who's profiting off of it.
It's good that good music can be easily purchased yeah I agree I.
Moving on if you wanna listen to it.
We get in the air but -- use.
Sir this is a definite. By jasmine from here to talk about it with a -- action actually mean here by the he -- buds are a zipper. Based cord for you earbuds.
Senior kind flash he fashionable earbuds so it takes away all the hassle of like getting your -- tangled --
The higher your bigger zipped up -- can still get tangled now. Oh I see with few of -- -- as well.

More well only from both probably we probably won't cared next week yeah right now -- like -- can.
What I really do care about and this is a long term care yes is -- this print edition of the ZT eat --
Which is a case in the cradle for the iPod Touch that gives it basically.
The capabilities of the iPhone.
Mine it's like messaging like an integrated text messaging but he can still what you can install apps that give -- phone call capabilities.
If it's a come MiFi -- shaped like a case C got. Sprint cellular. VG.
Hot spot built into the case interesting idea.
I mean the work around you -- pay for a plan sixth -- nine dollars for the case. And then monthly service plan.
That goes for 2999.
He's got that data cap -- it's not like the data plan isn't gonna be as. Robust yeah as other options are but.
If you're if you're in now like cut the cable.
I want the iPhone without having by the iPhone.

Who would like called life in and everything about -- -- that's it was only call.
